    Should I buy Windows 10 Home or Pro?

    Download Windows 10 home, and use your Windows 7 key to activate it

    Should I buy Windows 10 Home or Pro?

    I bought a win 10 pro oem key for £25, changed my motherboard and cpu, and reinstalled windows, and it activated automatically. So I would say why not buy pro?

    From here-
    https://softwaregeeks.co.uk/product/windows-10-pro/

    Was near enough instant delivery of key by email, and it activated on my original install, and on a clean install with changed hardware. Can't say fairer than that for £25
